¶ The history
The genesis of this enviable leading position goes back to 1926 in Cantù, when the founder, Arturo Salice, started the retail distribution of hardware produced in Italy and abroad. This enterprise, initially restricted to the local area, became a thriving business that, with ability and perseverance, was extended to the whole of Italy.
At the end of the fifties Arturo Salice started the production of his own line of furniture hardware at the new factory built at Cantù. At the same time, his sons Giorgio and Luciano entered the company and started to work together with their father in the management of the new venture, sharing with him the same qualities of perseverance, hard work and inventiveness. In those years, the far-sighted decision was taken to specialise exclusively in the production of furniture hinges.
On February 22nd 1957, Salice registered its first international patent covering a concealed, self-closing furniture hinge: an event that marked an incomparable technological milestone for the whole industry. Thus Arturo Salice S.p.A. was born.
